I just shop for Lin and myself, but the Costco membership easily pays for
itself in savings. Hell, the savings on wine alone pay for the membership!
Things we routinely buy at Costco a

Paper goods (toilet paper, paper plates, paper towels, and napkins)
Booze
Dog food
Cat litter
Razors
Prescription drugs
Over-the-counter drugs
Contact lenses
Printer cartridges

Occasionally we'll buy groceries, especially:

Mushrooms -- for some reason, Costco consistently has just the right size
mushrooms to make stuffed mushrooms.
Broccoli
Milk
Cheeses: Parm-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, and Provolone in particular


I come out *way* ahead after all the savings are applied.
